As Portland's largest and most recent lighthouse, the Trinity House operated Portland Bill Lighthouse is distinctively white and red striped, standing at a height of 41 metres (135 ft). The tower is approximately 114 feet. The lighthouse was completed by 1906 and first shone out on 11 January 1906. Portland Bill Lighthouse guides passing vessels through these hazardous waters as well as acting as a waymark for ships navigating the English Channel.
Went down to Portland today to photograph the famous Portland Bill. This is a blended exposure for sea and sky, using a 10 stop B+W ND filter to get the effect; see below.

This image began as a 120 b/w film negative, which was scanned to a cd as a .jpeg, then brought into photshop. From there I thorougly screwed up. But, it looked pretty cool, so here it is.
Skies clear after a prolonged spell of torrential rain on Portland island, Dorset. Inevitably, puddles have formed, which I use to my advantage. The beam of the lighthouse appears twice: in the sky and in the water. Nikon D800, Nikkor 20/2.8.
This was my final stop before returning home. I'm looking forward to visiting again, I hope the weather is a bit better next time!
After 43 years supporting Royal Navy RFA Gold Rover departs Portland for the final time. Picture: LPhot Barry Swainsbury
After 43 years supporting Royal Navy operations around the globe, RFA Gold Rover has reached the end of her lengthy and distinguished career.
Proudly flying her paying-off pennant, the Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship arrives in Portsmouth today ahead of her official end of service ceremony on Monday 6 March 2017.
It marks the end of four decades of service from the RFA tanker which has supported drugs busts, humanitarian relief missions and sea rescues in addition to her core role of replenishing the Royal Navy’s fleet.
The single hulled tanker makes way for the double-hulled RFA Tidespring and her three sisters – Tiderace, Tidesurge and Tideforce. Tidespring will formally enter service later this year.

Dawn this past Saturday morning taken from Pittock Mansion, looking out over downtown Portland. There were faint wisps of fog that teased us and left us wanting more. Meanwhile, if we just look left over the North Portland and Saint John's neighborhoods, they were covered in a low blanket of fog. I'm glad the foreground shrubs and trees have been pruned back, last year they killed the shot from up here. Thanks for looking and have a great week friends!

We've not been to Weymouth & Portland for a while. When we left Poole today it was torrential rain, but in Portland it was lovely and sunny!

Decided to dust off the camera and see what the 'storms' were doing at Portland Bill yesterday.
Didn't need to dust off the camera as the strong winds and sea spray soon did its bit.
The wind was picking up so much spray that it was impossible to get a decent shot at 'The Pulpit' side so spent most of the afternoon slightly more sheltered.
